Hard-throwing Hagadone, acquired from Boston in the Victor Martinez trade, has pitched more innings for Akron and Kinston this season than he did in his first three injury-plagued seasons combined.
FARM REPORT
AAA Columbus Clippers
Mud Hens 9, Clippers 1 Toledo's Scott Sizemore led off the bottom of the first inning with a home run, and things didn't get any better for Clippers right-hander Paolo Espino (3-3, 5.62), who gave up eight runs on 10 hits in four innings of the International League game. DH Wes Hodges (.270) slugged his 15th homer for the Clippers' run. Toledo right-hander Thad Weber (2-1, 1.64) gave up Hodges home run, but only six hits and one walk in seven innings to get the win. Notes: Right-handed reliever Zach Putnam (0-1, 3.47) has not allowed a run in his last 10 games, pitching 14 1/3 innings with 15 strikeouts, while allowing five hits and three walks....OF Jose Constanza (.320) is 15-of-41 (.366) with two doubles, two triples, seven runs and five walks in his last 10 games.
AA Akron Aeros
SeaWolves 1, Aeros 0 Erie right-handed starter Brooks Brown gave up just two Aeros' hits in six innings, and Brandon Jones doubled home the only run in the bottom of the fifth inning of the Eastern League game. Aeros righty starter Steven Wright (2-2, 4.31) took the loss, giving up five hits in five innings, with five strikeouts and one walk. Catcher Miguel Perez (.281) had two of Akron's four hits, including a double, but couldn't prevent the Aeros' fifth straight loss. Notes: The Aeros, who won the Eastern League championship last season, finish their season tomorrow afternoon in Erie. Akron is 70-71.... LHP Nick Hagadone has pitched a combined 85 2/3 innings this season with the Aeros and Kinston. Hagadone, acquired from the Boston Red Sox organization in the Victor Martinez trade last July, had pitched a combined 79 1/3 innings in his three previous minor league seasons because of arm problems. He was selected by Boston with the 55th overall pick in the 2007 draft. Hagadone, 24, is considered one of the Indians' top pitching prospects. They have been careful with his arm this season, closely monitoring his pitch count in his 29 outings -- including 17 starts. Hagadone is a combined 3-5 with one save and a 3.57 ERA at Akron and Kinston. He has struck out 89 in the 85 2/3 innings and held batters to a .226 average, but has sometimes struggled with his control, walking 63....RH reliever Bryan Price (6-3, one save, 3.13) is 4-1 with one save and a 1.86 ERA since the end of June, striking out 30 and allowing 10 walks and just one homer in 34 innings.
Advanced A Kinston Indians
Indians 1, Nationals 0 Indians right-handed starter Marty Popham (seven innings, eight strikeouts, two walks), left-handed reliever and winner Chris Jones (two innings, one walk, two strikeouts, 4-3, 2.39) and righty reliever Cory Burns (one inning, two strikeouts, 30th save, 1.83) combined on a 10-inning no-hitter in the Carolina League game at Potomac (Woodbridge, Va.). Indians OF Abner Abreu (.252) singled leading off the top of the 10th inning, went to second on a sacrifice bunt by SS Juan Diaz (.267) and scored on DH Doug Pickens' (.248) line single. Notes: Outfielder Bo Greenwell (.298) is 14-of-31 (.452) with two doubles, one triple, one homer, seven runs and five RBI in his last seven games....3B Jeremie Tice (.280) is 12-of-38 (.316) with two doubles, one triple, three homers, 10 RBI and nine runs in his last 10 games.
A Lake County Captains
Captains 8-1, Lansing Lugnuts 6-3 In the opener, shortstop Casey Frawley (.263, 13 home runs) slugged a three-run home run in the Captains' three-run third inning and a RBI single as Lake County scored five times in the bottom of the fifth. OF Jonathan Burnette drilled his first homer, a two-run blast, in the fifth inning. The Captains managed just one hit in the nightcap off Lugnuts righty Daniel Webb, a two-out single by Jonathan Burnette in the bottom of the seventh inning. Both games were seven innings, the doubleheader necessitated by Saturday night's postponement because of wet grounds. The Captains scored off Webb in the first inning with the help of two wild pitches and an error.
Notes: Outfielder Tyler Holt (.303) is 11-of-28 (.393) in his last 10 games, with four doubles, one triple, 10 walks, five runs, four RBI and three stolen bases....LHP Giovanni Soto took the loss in the second game, giving up three runs on five hits and a walk in four innings, with four strikeouts. Soto, 19, is 3-2 with a 3.77 ERA in six starts with the Captains since the Indians acquired him from the Detroit Tigers in exchange for Jhonny Peralta. In a combined 22 games -- all starts -- for the Captains and Detroit's Class A West Michigan team, Soto is 9-8 with a 2.93 ERA and two shutouts. He has struck out 107, walked 36 and held batters to a .237 average in 113 2/3 innings.
A Mahoning Valley Scrappers
Jamestown Jammers 10, Scrappers 9 The host Scrappers finished their season 30-46, despite getting two doubles and a single from 2B Tyler Cannon (.201), a grand slam homer and two singles from 1B Jesus Aguilar (.244) and a two-run homer, double and single from LF Anthony Gallas (.235).
Notes: Aguilar was 14-of-29 (.483) with three doubles, a homer and 10 RBI in his last seven games....3B Giovanny Urshela (.290) was 10-of-33 (.303) with five RBI in his last eight games.
Independent Lake Erie Crushers
Crushers 8, Kings 0 Right-hander Matthew Smith (10-7, 3.66) pitched a one-hitter with 12 strikeouts and four walks as the host Crushers finished their Frontier League season 50-46 and with an eight-game winning streak. The Crushers, 2009 league champions, got two hits each from CF Dom Duggan (.231), LF Raphael Turner (.193) and catcher Julio Rivera (.181).
Notes: Third baseman Andrew Davis led the Crushers with a .285 batting average, 10 home runs and 61 RBI....RHP Josh Roberts (10-5, 2.62) tied Matthew Smith for the team lead in wins, and led the starters in ERA. RH reliever Jeff Cinadr finished 4-3 with eight saves and a 2.21 ERA, and RH Alberto Rolon finished 3-4 with seven saves and a 2.65 ERA. Rolon's first 22 appearances were in relief; his last 10 as a starter.
